Welcome to my channel! :) It’s so good to meet you! A lot of you know me from my weight loss content. In 2017, I had a gastric sleeve and lost 150 lbs. Then in 2020, I had skin removal surgery. 7 years later, still going strong on my health journey! I’m an author and write contemporary romance books. I’m a foodie, and I love cooking, all things autumn, and you can usually find me outside walking my dogs or curled up with a book and drinking coffee. Thanks for all of your support and for following along!

I’m about to go for the sleeve and all these fears are so real for me. To hear you say “give yourself grace” is probably the best advice I have come across so far. Much love to you for this video

@raeanndeegan2910 3 жыл бұрын

S Pin I instantly regretted surgery a day afterwards. But it’s slowly getting better. I finished my first week of the fluid diet, I have 1 more week to go. (I really want eggs!!) but what has helped me especially with protein intake was making my own protein smoothies! I’m sick of the premier protein and I can’t handle it. My smoothies consist of: Unflavored whey protein powder, some light Greek yogurt, 1% milk, ice, vanilla extract, and some fresh fruit like strawberries & bananas all purred in the blender. I definitely feel a lot better now that I’m getting my protein in. I feel less weak! I hope this helps!

@RaeAnn Deegan thanks so much for responding and yes I know exactly how u feel. We’ll get there. I just wanna eat period. I was told I could have eggs as long as they’re puréed. But I’ve been getting my protein the last 2 days from Taco Bell (believe it or not) we can have the beans and cheese bowl they have. 😋 the closest I can get to food right now. Stay strong. I’m praying for u. ❤️

I had to go on a 3 week liquid diet currently finished week 1 starting week 2 and it’s mentally exhausting, food is everywhere. Your family eating such good foods you don’t even have an appetite for broth. You have to force yourself to eat and even drink because you get tired of drinking fluids…😢
